Chapter 244

MEI!

In the last era, there was that guy who lured himself into being sealed in the box!

"It's you! It's actually you?!" The fox was so angry that it gritted its teeth, but it didn't dare to take a step forward. It could only stand there baring its teeth but dared not do anything.

"Yes, of course it's me," MEI said with a slight smile, "If you really don't understand anything."

"How did you get lured into the box?!"

"You bastard!" the fox roared. "What are you trying to do?! Are you planning to come out and laugh at me? To toy with me and then seal me away again?"

"You bastard! You're dreaming!"

"No," MEI said, hands in his pockets. "I have no such intention."

"I'm here to relieve your fear."

"Fear?" The fox suddenly hissed as if its tail had been stepped on, "You think I'm afraid? You're mistaken! I'm not afraid at all!"

"I don't know what fear is, let alone what terror is."

"Is that so?" MEI pushed up his glasses and asked, "Then why do you want to destroy humanity?"

"I think so!" the fox insisted, "What does that have to do with you?"

"Who do you think you are?! My mother?"

"You control everything! You ask about everything?!"

"Because you're afraid," MEI said. "Because you're afraid of being sealed away, afraid of being killed. That's why you chose to destroy the creature that has the power to destroy you."

"Humans!"

"What exactly are you trying to do?!" the fox demanded bluntly.

"I did say that," MEI said calmly, but with even greater sincerity, "I want to save you! I want to awaken the love and kindness in your heart."

"No, I'm sorry!" the fox said sarcastically, "I didn't!"

"Is that so?" MEI said, "You know what hate is, so you must know what love is. You know Yae Sakura loves in her heart, so you keep reopening her wounds, letting her see the people she loves and her closest relatives die in front of her time and time again. To make her hate, to make her fall."

"Make her your puppet."

"You created this space," MEI said, spreading his hands. "Using recurring historical events to mock Yae Sakura."

"Because you understand people's hearts, you know what people love, that's why you made a bet with Yae Sakura."

"I'm betting everything."

"Hehe~" The fox seemed to admit it, but still chose to mock, "You truly deserve to be called the strongest brain; nothing can escape your eyes."

"But even if you see through all of this, so what?"

Do you understand what love and kindness are?

"Of course I understand," MEI said. "How can someone who doesn't understand love or kindness awaken love and kindness in others?"

Mei approached the fox little by little, and the fox retreated little by little.

They pushed themselves to the edge of a cliff and were unable to retreat.

"Don't come any closer!" the fox shouted at MEI.

"I know what you're afraid of," MEI said, walking up to the fox. "You're afraid of this love because you're afraid it's fake, a deception."

"Of course you're more afraid of losing this love."

Mei finally walked up to the fox, opened her arms as if to embrace it, and said, "I told you, I can save you."

"Save Yae Sakura."

"Now are you willing to believe me?"

"Why should I believe you?" the fox retorted. "You deceived me before!"

"Because we couldn't communicate," MEI said. "I know that my negligence led to this tragedy. I'm very sorry about it."

"I will make amends, I will protect you."

"Bell."

"Why should I believe you?!" the fox demanded. "Just because of your few sweet words?"

"Because of this place," MEI said, clutching her chest with both hands, "Forever beating, a passionate heart."

"I don't believe you! I don't believe you! It's a lie! It's all a lie!" the fox said. "I won't believe you!"

This fox seemed to have suffered a great shock; it twisted its body wildly and howled madly, as if a taut string had snapped completely.

It suddenly bit down on MEI.

Can...

But just when those huge fangs were only 0.01 millimeters away from MEI's heart.

It stopped.

"Why... why didn't you move away?!" the fox asked, its eyes bloodshot. "Aren't you... aren't you afraid?!"

"Doctor Mei! You should know that my hatred for you, my intent to kill you, is real!"

"I will kill you!"

"Because I'm genuine too," MEI said. "I said I would save you, I would protect you. So I'm willing to exchange sincerity for sincerity."

"I opened my heart, and I made my own choice."

"Even if you kill me, it doesn't matter."

"But what if..." the fox asked, panting, "What if I kill you? How will you save me?"

"When you die, you have nothing left."

"With my life," MEI said calmly. "If someone has to die here today, I want it to be me. Death has meaning."

"I'm willing to use my death to awaken the kindness in your heart."

"Hi-Fyūmaru." Mei hugged Hi-Fyūmaru's chin affectionately, letting his sharp fangs press directly against his heart, and said, "I said I would protect you."

"I will save you, I will warm you with my love."

"So you're willing to let go of the past."

"Let go of your past obsessions."

"Don't be afraid anymore, don't worry about things that will make you sad happening. As long as I'm here, I will always protect you and love you." MEI gently stroked Hi-Fyūmaru's chin, just like a mother stroking and embracing her child. Even with this child holding a sharp blade to her chest.

They are not afraid of being pierced at any moment or having their lives taken away.

"Please also open your heart and listen to the voice within."

"Bell."

Chapter 268 Hi-Fyūmaru Duck

"Is it finally over?"

Yae Village has finally returned to its usual tranquility.

It was as if everything had completely passed, as if nothing had happened.

There were no Sacrifice Ritual, no despairing plagues, and no bloody violence.

At this moment, Yae Village resembled a legendary paradise, a beautiful, tranquil, and peaceful pastoral scene. It seemed as if those chilling things would never happen here.

MEI adjusted her glasses and said calmly, "It's a pity that everything here is fake."

This is still the Stigmata Space.

Everything here is undoubtedly fake.

The real Yae Village doesn't have these things.

Of course, the real Yae Village has long been lost to the tides of history.

If it weren't for an anomaly like Yae Sakura appearing here back then.

This place may also disappear along with history, eventually being forgotten and becoming just a small passage in historical records.

Now...

"What are your plans?" MEI asked, looking at Yae Sakura sitting next to him drinking tea. "We won't stay here."

"There are still people waiting for us in the real world."

The matter is over; MEI truly succeeded in reforming Hi-Fyūmaru.

Although Hi-Fyūmaru herself said that she still could not completely trust Mei, because Mei had failed to protect her and had deceived her, which led to her being sealed away.

However, it's worth observing; she seems willing to give it a try and coexist peacefully with MEI.

Although that's what Hi-Fyūmaru said.

But MEI think this matter is over. As long as nothing seriously outrageous happens, it won't cause another uproar.

The last thing to do now is to go back.

People in the real world are still waiting for news from them.

"I..." Yae Sakura looked at Yae Village.

I felt a little lost.

She really didn't know whether she should go or stay.

She knew this place was fake. But at the same time, she also knew that her beloved younger sister still existed in this fake world, and that the thing that had forced her to kill her sister with her own hands would never happen again in this fake world.

Staying here would probably be a happy ending for her.

But.

Should we really stay like this?

Stay in this false world?

"No." Yae Sakura shook her head and said, "I won't stay here."

"Why?" MEI asked curiously, "Your sister is no longer in the outside world, nor is the person you hate. The former Yae Village has been submerged in history and no longer exists."

"Is there nothing left for you to care about in the outside world?"

"Besides, your physical body no longer exists."

"Where does your soul rest without a physical body?"

Why did Yae Sakura want to go out? This was a question that Mei was very curious about.

It seems like we've completed the first open-world phase in the game, and Yae Sakura will tell Mei, "I still have many unfinished things, so I'll borrow your body for a bit."

What is Yae Sakura's true purpose?

What are the many unfinished things?

A game is just a game; 3D RPG is just a fun mobile game. Putting Yae Sakura on the Hyperion was just to make more money.

Otherwise, how could Brother Dawei continue to swindle money with just those few Valkyrie?

But things are different here. Yae Sakura going out isn't Brother Dawei's idea.

What was her motivation?

"I think I still have many unfinished things to do," Yae Sakura said, taking a sip of tea. "Therefore, I cannot stay here."

"Many unfinished things?" MEI asked curiously, "What things?"

That's exactly what she wanted to know; that's exactly what she wanted to know.

"..." Yae Sakura did not reply.

She put down her teacup and looked at MEI.

Even MEI felt a little guilty after seeing that.
